Default "This royal throne of kings,

........... this sceptred isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,--
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.

With a different flag it could also symbolize the American economy: flags still waving against a blue sky, but pretty badly rusted out at the bottom!

That's probably Rolo on his way to the football stadium carrying that flag!

Very nicely seen and captured Pete.

Thanks folks.

Actually Azzz, that is Rolo's house; he's never cared much about outward appearances.
